Summary:                    [patch] bad master selection
Description: 
Current dahdi master handling work in the following way:
The first SPAN become a master
If a new registered !!! SPAN is preferred , it is the new master
If a span is unregistered - the new master is the first available span
If master SPAN is in alarm state - the new master is the first non in
alarm state SPAN

So
1. dahdi-dummy once loaded will be the master forever.
2. even not-running SPAN can be a master
3. master implementation is ugly...

dahdi.init: Define a default span configuration for digital cards.

If there is a digital card in the system, and there is not a span
configuration line in /etc/dahdi/system.conf, the init script will now
create
a temporary default one to use.  On some installations, this will allow
asterisk to start before dahdi is fully configured.

This a temporary measure until DAHDI is always able to provide a timing
source.
